Following his tribute matchup against former Oakland A's teammate Barry Zito, Tim Hudson has one more start to make before he retires, which may not take place when it was initially scheduled.

Hudson, who only threw an inning and a third in his start against Zito on Saturday, is currently in the queue to start the Giants' series finale against the Dodgers on Thursday, but it might be pushed back a day or two depending on whether the Dodgers clinch the division prior to his start.

"Sure, we want to keep [the rotation] intact," manager Bruce Bochy said. "But we want to do what's right for these guys. I don't see anything changing right now."
